Richard Woods’ Bright Faux Bois

Ever since I got the November issue of House Beautiful I haven’t been able to get this bar out of my head! The homeowner asked artist Richard Woods to do the bright faux boix painting for which he is famous and I think the result is so fresh, unique, and fun.

Here is some more of his work at the New Art Gallery Walsall in the UK:

and on the facade of the MCM flagship store in Seoul:

But you may recognize it best on the garage and front door of Bob and Cortney Novogratz’ New York home:

The reason I love it so much is that it’s faux bois but it’s not really trying to look like wood. That’s what makes it so fun.

Hi again, I thought I’d share with you the Wonderables website, in case you haven’t seen it yet. I think they have awesome stuff. The vases with the figurines are now at Anthropology where I got mine.
